Hmmm, that means we might need to keep a 'base' property for the files in a set so we know how to find the file via absolute pathname but sometimes need to work with the relative pathname. I bit tricky....

I'm dependent on the actual grouping, i.e. the fact that some files reside under 'src1' and others under 'src2' and that this grouping is maintained when the jar is created. Assume the following layout: src1/org/foo/misc/a.class src2/org/foo/util/b.class Now, given my original example, I'd like a jar that contains: org/foo/misc/a.class org/foo/util/b.class I.e., the knowledge that src1 and src2 are 'dir' entries that will replace the 'basedir' in the jar task as it peruses the filesets, one at a time, must be preserved. Merging filesets won't do since that would clobber that information.
